A new project

友人の、ウェディングドレスを作ることになり、心がふるえる日々です。
ウェディングドレス、と書いたけれど、式は着物でドレスはお色直し用なので、すこ~しだけプレッシャーが弱まりました。
友人とは夏からプランを話し始め、先日彼女がはるばる長野から大阪に採寸とデザイン案を詰めにやって来ました。
数年振りの再会が嬉しくて、そしてやっぱり彼女のドレスを作らせてもらえるなんて光栄だなぁと思いました。

今夜は、台風が抜けて涼しい風が吹いています。
ベースになるパターンをひいて、デザイン画も新たに描けたので、夜半に休憩。
満月のお茶を飲みながら、とっておきのチョコレートを頂きました。
DEBAILLEUL(ドゥバイヨル)で見つけた、MENDIANT NOIR、BELLE、PRINCESS、の3種。いずれもダークチョコのセレクションで、カカオの薫りにうっとり。美味でした。

a little doodle I did between designing and drafting.

I'm going to make a wedding dress for my friend and I've been feeling like having beautiful butterflies in my stomach these days.
Though I said wedding dress, but she's going to wear kimono for a ceremony and the dress is for after-ceremony. So the pressure is a tiny bit less.
She and I have been talking about the dress since summer, and finally she came all the way from Nagano to Osaka to do measuring and also to discuss about the design.
I saw her for the first time since few years, and I really felt so proud that she's letting me make her dress.

Tonight, a typhoon has gone and night breeze is cool.
I finished drafting a basic block and drew new designs. Then I took a break in the middle of the night.
I made some Full Moon tea and surved myself some special chocolates.
They were MENDIANT NOIR, BELLE, and PRINCESS from a chocolate shop DEBAILLEUL. All of them are dark chocolates and had an enchanting aroma of cacao. How amazingly delicous they were.
